The Liberal Mind Cult… Journolist always had a seedy quality about it–sweaty, zero personality partisans indulging their petty, rage-filled politics in a conformist atmosphere–so it's not surprising that when it came to the subject of Obama and race, they were positively psychotic.  While not enough is going to be said about this on the neocon-castrated Right, we've got a few things to say at My Posting CareerWednesday, July 21, 2010 - 8:44 PM  

 

Inception… My and other takes on Christopher Nolan's Inception can be found at My Posting Career.  Quote:

 

"What Inception has in common with Nolan's earlier Memento is the theme of mental damage leading to a crisis of identity and awareness. Here of course Nolan is exploring purely amoral aspects of the mind, impulses that the conscious mind is mainly a servant to–complications of our animal evolution and highly developed cerebrum. Nolan's fascination with the mind's workings leads him away from the conscious rationalizations of the moralizer and toward the interrogative analysis of the psychologist." Sunday, July 18, 2010 - 12:00 AM  

 

Armond White's assault on SWPL… The kids are not alright, they are pathological, as is the entertainment they jerk off to.  I have a post up on one of the few bright spots in film criticism, at My Posting Career–along with some thoughts on the latest homophile infatuation. Friday, July 16, 2010 - 4:27 AM  

 

I'm with Gibson… Mel Gibson dared to use some salty language–in private!  Naturally, the usual suspects are going out of their minds with rage about this.  Are you with Gibson?  I'm with Gibson. Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 3:41 AM  

 

Sorry, Apple apologists… I'm back from my vacation in Shreveport.  I wish table games were more predictable than the reactions of Apple apologists to bad news.  It would make playing them much more profitable. Saturday, July 3, 2010 - 10:57 PM

Final thoughts on The Culture of Critique… Having written an extensive summary of Kevin MacDonald's The Culture of Critique, I give my final thoughts on it here.  From the beginning:

 

I was going to canvass some of the responses to MacDonald's book, but why not just quote from the SLPC's considered, measured review:

 

Kevin MacDonald is the neo-Nazi movement's favorite academic. A psychology professor at California State University, Long Beach, MacDonald, who also is a board member of the white supremacist Charles Martel Society, published a trilogy that supposedly "proves" that Jews are genetically driven to destroy Western societies. MacDonald also argues that anti-Semitism, far from being an irrational hatred for Jews, is a logical reaction to Jewish success in societies controlled by other ethnic or racial groups. After the publication of a 2007 Intelligence Report exposé detailing MacDonald's anti-Semitism, his teaching duties were reduced and many of his colleagues publicly condemned his racist research.

Whither Judaism and the West?… My latest (and overdue) installment on Kevin MacDonald's The Culture of Critique covers the concluding chapter, a look at what the rise of Judaism means for the West.  I'll be adding my final thoughts on the book later, but if you ever wanted a quick but comprehensive overview of this remarkable volume, you know where to look. Friday, April 16, 2010 - 8:54 PM  

 

The Top 25 Media Whores… MPC user mlad took a look at The Daily Beast's Top 25 Centrist Columnists and Commentators.  First of all it's called The Daily Beast–there's nothing journalists, who mostly harbor fantasies of being real writers, love more than semi-obscure references to their worthless profession.  Obviously these people and the non-entity cocksucker who wrote this brown-nosing piece will have much to answer for when heads roll. Tuesday, April 6, 2010 - 9:01 PM

The limits of human scale… I've posted a long piece on scale and society.  Here is the introduction:

 

Introduction

 

Our society is seriously out of scale.  This fact has produced a range of dysfunctional behaviors that we have incorporated into our behavioral framework, creating further imbalance.  The end result will be atomization, depopulation, and social chaos.  The only remedy for this problem, long term, is reduction in scale, achieved by reorganizing nations into manageable and relatively homogenous populations, population and immigration control, and restraint of technological, economic, and social policies which give rise to problems of scale.

 

This remedy is not, I must stress, a devolution–it is not a reversion to the past, much less an idealized past free from worry.  In any composition of society, there will be tension between traditional and progressive outlooks, there will be complacency and conflict and all the usual human evils.  Nor is the primary concern Malthusian, that is an unsustainable growth in resource consumption (although this too is a problem we face as a result of scale, it is not my focus here).

 

By scale I mean more than mere population growth; I refer also to the scale of complexity created by the West's conversion to a multicultural, globalized social model.  In this model, all distinctions including race (meaning ethnicity), nationality, culture, and religion are viewed as subordinate to the division between the managerial class and the managed class.  Thus effective democracy is blunted and masses of people are shifted and reorganized in accordance with the decisions of a managerial class.  Aside from the negative consequences brought about by heedless change, a second order of effects is seen in the dramatic increase in social complexity and the need for citizens to accomodate radically different (and in some cases incompatible) outlooks. Sunday, March 7, 2010 - 5:10 PM
